I came home today to find a sign on the door of my building stating that, because the owners owe $22,600.00, the gas will be shut off on October 21st. No heat, no hot water, no stove. Ha. Luckily, somelameo will be here by then, so at least I won't be cold at night.

I celebrated this news by going over to the kids' house...

ouch!! that royally SUCKS!!!

That sucks.....we had the power company cut our power because when we moved and called to notify them that we had moved from apartment A to apartment B, they took the hint to shut off our apartment A power, but not to shut on our apartment B power. So in our new place (apt B), after the previous tenant had not payed the bills she was recieving for our 3 months of power, they cut us off. We lit candles and had a sewing party in the basement, and it was really fun. AND, because it was their fault, to apologise for the inconvenience, they aren't charging us for the power we have been using since July.

Sounds like you don't get a fun bonus though....I wonder if you;'ll go all winter without heat, or if you'll just pay your gas directly, or....?

Damnit, I need a watch.
I wonder whether my neighbors are enjoying my mini cooper cuckoo clock.
Coffee and Cigarettes is a great movie.

I miss y'all. I think the novelty of living alone is starting to wear off.

Goddamnit! Lucero's show was yesterday. For some reason, I was convinced it was tommorrow. I've been looking forward to it for at least a month, and I fucking missed it. Goddamn it. I suck.

However, I seem to be on an upswing. Talking to my favoritest person seems to do that. We are adorable, I'm sure. And in 10 days, we're gonna be... um, more...

It is hard.

Sorry about lucero's show. That sucks. ALTHOUGH, I'm getting to see Social Distortion the day before my birthday right here in PDX! It's gonna rock so hard. You should come.

In talking to Al recently, I've become aware of a new job market you might be interested in hearing of: I'm just gonna hang out with cute girls and beat the christ out of shitty guys that hit on them like Magicians or Lame guys (no pun intended on your boyfriend's screen name), and leave them alone when awesomer guys are around. Inquire by phone for resume.
dunx:
You flatter. blush Keep at it.

And yeah, I'm glad you called then, cause I woulda started crying. Because I couldn't reach through the phone and choke her if for no other reason...

I've started acquiring an awful lot of houseplants.
I have new windows! Construction workers are so awesome. Especially Polish construction workers. You've gotta respect guys who come and remove all of your windows, and then, realizing how fucked you are, take a hour lunch break. Suddenly, I found myself windowless and late for class. I wandered downstairs, found one of the guys working, and said...

Yo - sorry, lack of computer time (talk to dunx about that one).... umm, endnotes, sorry, the LaTex book has EVERYTHING in there and should be in your local librarry. But you already fiigured it out. Cause you're smart. And Cute. and so on...
holliday:
Thanks for your comment about my rejected SG set. I agree with all the stuff you said. I was torn about the color issue...in the end that wasn't my department.

My biggest complaints were my facial expressions and that most of our good (personality) photos were lost due to my photographer drinking too much and fucking them up frown What a shame, cuz I thought the set was cute.

I'd just like to pause here for a moment and say that Plastic is one of the greatest friends a girl can have. Thanks dude. You fucking rock.

things are totally fucked up right now. i'll email you tomorrow while i'm at the flying m about all the shit. this week = hell!
esme:
He does sound like a swell chap.

Thank you so much for the comments about my paintings. They're all at least a year old, most more like three. I'm feeling good, though, because I found a studio to rent about two blocks away...now all I have to do is scrape together 600 bucks for the security deposti & first months rent. Which is probably going to mean cutting out unneccesaries (like cigarettes??? shit!).

The owner of SG:Chicago is notoriously slow about approving people...I think the excuse used to be that she was in Europe for the summer...but it's not summer anymore, so who can say? It shouldn't be much longer, now. How long ago did you apply?

Are you really in Chicago? Please, please, please don't tell me you're 21 and starting grad school. Because then I would have to move to Turkey and sell myself into white slavery. I mean, life just wouldn't be worth it anymore. confused
esme:
Naw, it's just intimidating. biggrin Every last one of my good college friends went straight to grad school, and it makes me feel pretty useless. In the last year and a half I've been a house-girlfriend, a park ranger, and an office bitch, while my two best friends have a Master's from LSE and are 1/7 of the way to their PhD in classical Archeology, respectively. puke But, hey, I've got an official bartending certificate!
Are you at U of C? Are you going to come hang out with us? We've got a nice little group of fun, rauchy drunks going on up here on the north side.

two weeks! on the nose!
the world is sort of overwhelming sometimes. i'm glad i can stay hidden in books.
maybe i just need to get laid.
two weeks!
maximillian:
It's, uh, ok.

Organic Chem is totally rad, Integrative calculus is still the most boring thing I can fathom, and mental health and culture is (yet another) look at how the white man has screwed people of color royally over the years. In other words, it sounds easy.

I do, however, alreasy have tons of homework. And I think I'm already behind. Ugh.

I am alarmed to discover that I have reached some kind of new stage of adulthood. I followed a fellow student into a Crate & Barrel today, and the strangest thing happened - I wanted stuff. Suddenly, I desperately desired a set of dishes, and some nice pots and pans, and glasses, and place settings, and a curio cabinet. It was horrifying. I even went...

i really like people who can make me laugh.

i think i prefer to hang out with people who are way cooler than me. i don't like feeling superior to people that i'm talking to. it makes me uncomfortable.

it's really wierd; the last three days or so, i haven't been hungry. i mean, i've eaten, but every time it's sort of a struggle. it's...
